<br><br>I know there have been alot of people complaining that they
only have 850 in their respective area, and a phone without 850
coverage is of no use to them.&nbsp; I don&#39;t want to be a nay-sayer, but it
makes me worry.&nbsp; I don&#39;t know what band coverage I have.&nbsp; Personally I
have an AT&amp;T RAZR, which the option to select the network between
&quot;Automatic&quot;, &quot;850/1900&quot; and &quot;900/1800&quot;.&nbsp; Just now I set it to 900/1800
to test, and I no longer have service.&nbsp; Obviously, I don&#39;t want to
spent several hundred dollars on a phone that doesn&#39;t work where I
live, or _might_ work on the other band in the area.&nbsp; Additionally, how
does this bode for traveling?&nbsp; If 850mhz is widely used for AT&amp;T -
then I would be in trouble.
<br><br>Don&#39;t get me wrong, I love the idea of the OpenMoko and really
really really want to get one of the GTA02&#39;s (I&#39;m sure many others will
agree).&nbsp; But I&#39;m worried, and I&#39;m sure I&#39;m not alone.<br><br>-Jon<font color="#888888">.<br><br><br></font>
